to follow the January post, a happy conclusion...
you could say a real...
The Drebbel, a working reconstruction of the 1620 version, by Dutch inventor Cornelius Drebbel. Rebuilt here in Richmond, but is the first time that I have seen it up close and to touch. A fantastic sight in the middle of Saturday's Farmers Market...
Have you worked it out yet? Laurie has. A clue, this one was built in Richmond.
trees... woods.. and all that.. you get the idea...

Paul Bowen and his band played in the 'local' for a St Patricks gig the other evening..
some of the boys let the event go to their heads...
(ok for the band photo I didn't use the flash... but feels more real to me)
To be honest these have all been taken weekday lunchtimes..
Happy Mothers Day
Here is a project that we're working on currently, the restoration of some old photos from 1890... oh and this is the 21st century version...
We traveled last weekend to visit our son and see where he is currently working. It is as wet there, by the river, as it has been here. It is the same river, so means we have more water to see yet at our end of it.

Yes the last few days have been a bit of a wash out, but its not been unusually bad, just the norm for this part of world... The main thing is, only another 16 days till British Summer Time. I know the US is starting daylight saving early this year, but at least at this latitude we are seeing 12 hours of light now.
Well let's keep that wet watery theme going for a little longer
